New Developments

The rollout of a 'family of brands' across U.S. developments reflects a tailored approach to serving diverse customer needs.

Today it owns, develops, invests in and manages a wide range of rental assets — from apartments and student beds to labs and logistics hubs.

Strategic bets include modular homes, life-science labs, single-family rentals and logistics distribution centers — marking it a versatile real-estate innovator.
With a reputation for vertical integration — managing assets, investments and construction in-house — it stands out in an industry of fragmented players.
